The horns are also similar to  H. brasilicaby having a short clypeal horn and long supraorbital horns that point inward toward each other. The hypomeron and prosternum not having long, gold/yellow setae distinguish this species from  H. brasilica. The mesepisternum is also not scalloped as in  H. brasilica. Finally, in this species the coarse punctures are not primarily concentrated on the lateral portions of the pronotum, rather they are spread out across the pronotum ( Fig. 21).   Description: Male. Size: 8—11 mm; 3—4 mm. Head. Distance between cardo and eye less than width of cardo (34:1). Clypeal horn short, conical (4:1; 5:0); twice as wide, at base, as one supraorbital horn (7:2); produced forward (8:0); finely punctate (9:1). Supraorbital horns long, thin and slightly bent inwards (11:1; 12:1); produced perpendicular to head (13:1); not bent anteriorly (14:0); finely punctate (15:1). Antennae not forming club (17:0). Antennae with stellate sensoria (22:0). Third antennomere equal in size to fourth and more than 1.5 times size of second (18:0; 19:2). Vertex and frons with punctures smaller than eye facets (26:1; 28:1). Gena not extending laterally past eye (36:0). Clypeus is pointed in middle (29:2). Mentum trapezoidal and densely setose (40:0; 41:1). Groove on mandible present and continuing to connection point on cranium (44:1). Labrum fully setose (39:1). Thorax. Pronotum punctures biordinal in size (54:1). Coarse punctures numerous and spread evenly across pronotum (57:2). From lateral view, pronotum not arched (58:0); disc flat (60:1). Anterior edge of pronotum reaching middle of eye, but not past eye (63:1). Lateral margins of pronotum subparallel (61:1). Margins of pronotum expanded wider than diameter of one coarse puncture (62:2). Hypomeron laterally rugulose (75:2). Mesepisternum punctate; punctures smaller than eye facets and separated by one or less than one diameter (71:1). Mesepisternum not pubescent (73:0). Prosternum punctate and not pubescent (66:0); punctures smaller than eye facets (67:1), puncturing separated by less than one diameter (68:1). Prosternal process not continuing past posterior edge of pronotum (69:0). Elytra striae present and punctate (46:1); punctures shallow (47:1); separated by less than one diameter (48:0). Elytral interstices convex (49:1); punctures equal to or smaller than one fourth size of strial punctures (50:1); punctures separated by more than one diameter (51:1).   FIGURE 22:Distribution of  Hypogena cryptica. Based on 69 databased specimens. Abdomen. All abdominal segments densely punctate; first three visible abdominal segments coarsely punctate (89:0; 90:0; 91:0); fourth and fifth visible abdominal segments finely punctate; punctures separated by less than one diameter. Abdominal sternites not setose (94:0). Legs. Tarsi pubescent. Cuticular outgrowths present on proximal two tarsomeres (86:1). Tibiae with two apical spurs (85:1). On lateral edge of protibia, seven or more socketed spines present on distal third (81:1; 82:0). All tibiae and femurs setose along entire length. Female. Similar to male, except as follows: Cuticle on intraocular space narrowly raised near eye (23:1). Intraocular space impinging on eye (24:1). Puncturing on vertex as large as or larger than eye facets (25:2). Clypeus with punctures smaller than eye facets and spread evenly across clypeus (31:1; 32:2). Anterior edge of clypeus flat but corners are rounded (30:1). Clypeus tumid (33:1).   Distribution( Fig. 22): Mexico( Baja California, San Luis Potosi, Veracruz, Tamaulipas, Baja California Sur), USA( Arizona, California), Guatemala.   Etymology: The specific epithet  crypticais a reference to the similarity that this species bears to  H. brasilica. It is feminine. 2625368478 1983-10-05 CSCA D. Faulkner & F. Andrews & Aaron D. Smith & F. G. Andrews Mexico Baja Norte 29 230 13 8 5 holotype 2625368459 CSCA L. Cal.
